How do I attach them to my post?

(Although FOG2 saves as .JPG by default, rather than .TGA, the files are full quality and hence very large)

Here's 3 images that show the lack of hills and the lack of height. Look at the detail on the cursor, normally I would expect to see some text that shows the height of the terrain at cursor.
You can also see the GoogleDrive message about Skirmish.BAM. I haven't customised the installation of Field of Glory, so where is this file being stored? Maybe I need to change my GoogleDrive settings not to Synch folders that are used by FoG2.

I've checked my GoogleDrive Sync options and I sync my Documents and Pictures folders and I've noticed that My Games (containing a folder called FieldOfGlory2) is within the Documents folder. So I suspect this is why I get the message about Skirmish.BAM.

It looks like there are a variety of issues with the video driver or card in truth. The lack of hills is likely the card failing to be passed the height data, which is in the form of the texture, or possibly failing to execute the correct shader at all.

Given you are running a 1080 I assume it is fairly new? It could be a hardware issue or a driver issue. My suggestion would be to fully remove the current nVidia driver and accept the driver which Windows Update then suggests. That would at least ensure you have a WHQL verified driver.

The problem with system specific issues like this is that it could be almost anything - it could even be a general RAM issue where the data is failing to be stored correctly before being sent to the card. Sorry I can't be more help.

My whole system was bought at the end of August 2017 and it's a high spec GPU. It was working fine until recently, I'll try deleting the driver and seeing what happens.

I think I may have fixed the issue now. I found something called reliability Monitor in the control panel and it clearly shows problems starting on 26th and each red cross day is more failures of nvidia applications. I contacted nVidia online help (assumed I'd get a chat bot), but I got a person (or a chat bot with excellent AI) who guided me through checking various things and then downloading and doing a clean install of the nVidia apps. It seems that newly downloaded battles have hills now and none have crashed so far.

All this is good news, particularly as I've just received an email from you guys telling me that you've noticed I'm having problems (i.e. the cheat police are watching me)... so hopefully I will get off the naughty step now

Thanks for all the help.
